The cholera outbreak that started in Gauteng Province in South Africa on February 5, 2023, has become a matter of national concern. The initial two cases involved two sisters from Diepsloot, Johannesburg, who had traveled to Malawi in January and returned at the end of the month. The husband of one of the women subsequently tested positive for cholera, followed by eight more confirmed cases – six in Johannesburg and two in Ekurhuleni.
